Description
The Old Manor House and Highlands consists of three cottages, now converted into two, and dates back to 1817. Constructed from limestone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof, the building features a double-depth plan with a staircase located in the hall opposite the entry. It is designed in the late Georgian style and stands two stories tall with a six-window range arranged in a 2:2:2 facade. The facade includes cambered arches with rusticated grey keystones above three asymmetrically placed doors, one of which is now blocked, while the other two have late 20th-century ledged doors. Additionally, there are cambered arches with rusticated grey keystones above eight-pane sash windows. The building has a plain parapet and segmental pediments over square corner finials adorned with central wreaths. The end and ridge stacks feature moulded caps, and the hipped roof is obscured by the parapet.
Inside, there are some four-panelled doors, and opposite the entry, there is a straight-flight staircase with plain balusters and a moulded newel. The Old Manor House also has a three-window range and a gabled service wing at the rear, built in a similar style, which includes the original four-panelled door and late 19th-century two-light sash windows. There is a 20th-century extension at the rear of Highlands.
